We are a unique community foundation, providing responsive solutions for our neighbors in need. We address food insecurity, provide health & wellness resources, support nonprofit capacity building and help build community leadership among people of color. We empower individuals and families to gain a hand up, not a hand out.
For many, our picturesque county is also a picture of soaring costs and the inability to make ends meet. Many in our community rely on our programs to help fill the gaps in their lives when they need it most.
Offering barrier-free access to vital health resources.
Providing access to free, nutrient-rich food across the county.
Supporting leadership capacity building for people of color.
Help change the trajectory of someone’s life in the Eagle Valley.
